Safari Wildlife Guide

In the biggest game parks on Earth

The Big 5

The Big 5 is a term originally used by hunters to describe Africa's most dangerous game animals, namely lion, leopard, elephant, Cape buffalo and the black rhino. These days the white rhino is also included due to the rarity of seeing the endangered black rhino. There are numerous national parks and reserves where you can tick these magnificent animals off your list - see the safari wildlife guide below for more information.
